    My sincere condolences & prayers to Laurastine, Donna Kaye & the rest of the Dunston family during their hour of bereavement. I have fond memories of Mrs Dot & family of our families as we are & were childhood friends growing up in Eustis. May God strengthen you for the journey ahead in Jesus name. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. Psalms 30:5 To God Be The Glory
